Somehow, I think many of us thought that things were going on behind the scenes that would marshal an effective filibuster effort. I really thought there would be more support and much more strategizing by Dems to get the job done.

What was there to say in the earlier blogging on this? There seemed to be widespread agreement that a filibuster was necessary and urgently needed.

I didn't comment on blogs during that period but I certainly faxed, emailed and called my Senators and many others urging a no vote AND a filibuster.

I was also busy on local political activities, including Party stuff. I think many people are, which definitely cuts into blogging time!
